I wonder how much longer, our globe will have two polar icecaps all year round?

No doubt it will be an iconic day when a boat broadcasts pictures from the North Pole and there is very little ice around. That day isn’t a long way off and I imagine that most people will think it is a very serious change. The denialists will make themselves very obvious when it happens of course.

Do you have a good source for data of NP temperatures?

We’re overheating and out of balance planet~wise and it’ll be morbidly interesting to see satellite images of all all blue ice-less summer Arctic – with implications that are more chilling than its waters.

I’d also suggest taking a look at this powerful youtube clip :

‘Arctic Sea Ice Minimum Volumes 1979-2015’ by Andy Lee Robinson – the most recent in a series of such clips. Really brings home visually, the difference we’ve made.
